Everything GardeningRotoplast & Self Watering Planter Systems

My neighbor says to use railroad ties but those might not fit with our look in the backyard. I was thinking more along the lines of some 2×6′s that are pre-treated to prevent rotting. Will this affect the chemicals that enter the soil? Are they dangerous? Does anyone have any good links to help with the building and prep work for a new veggie garden?
I’m think of making four 4×4 squares for the garden. Any tips would be great.

I am starting a small outdoor container garden, mostly various leaf lettuces & peppers…maybe some cukes, a salad garden really! How much sunlight do you think it needs? (I have a very shady yard.)

Just planted it 3 weeks ago and it’s growing like crazy

My son and I made our first veggie garden this year. I used old pavers to raise the bed about a foot high. In the raised bed, we have corn, tomatoes, sweet peas, pumpkin and carrots.
I know there are mice and rabbits nearby, and it’s only a matter of time before they find our garden. Any suggestions on how to protect the raised garden bed? Thanks!

I would like to start a vegetable garden. Our soil is rocky and poor quality, so I plan on building a soil box. How deep do I need the soil to be? Should my garden box have a bottom or should I line it with bark or something else? Once I have a box, what ind of soil should I buy – is it best to use different types of soil at different layers?

my family has started a garden this year and i was wondering what would grow well in southern ca weather. right now, it has been getting pretty hot (and will get a LOT hotter) and the place that we have chosen to plant the garden gets half shade, half sun throughout the day. could u list some fruits or veggies that would grom well in heat!! thanks!
